Personally, I only did a rewind because I missed a piece of dialog, I made exactly the same choices though even if I didn't feel like they were right the second time around. Did anyone rewind to change decisions? I wouldn't do it, because I'd feel like I would be "cheating" the game. How about you?

I did it in the third episode to see if something could be changed or not. When I found out it couldn't the game kind of lost a lot of its magic.

I found that out after talking with my roommate. He handled pretty much every choice differently than I did, but our episodes played out pretty much the same. TWD has a great story to tell, but the "your decisions matter!" mechanic is pretty much a lie. Every character's fate is pre-determined. If you go against what the writers had in mind when they wrote the script, they'll just lead you back onto their path further down the road.

i never did any sort of rewind. in addition to hearing everything and sticking to my decisions, i just forgot that the feature even existed

Sometimes when my computer had a problem, but I would always choose the choices I had already made.

Yeah where the strength really lied was in the illusion of choice actually making you more invested in the game, because even when you didn't have a lot of control over things, you felt like you did, so when shit went wrong it still felt like your fault, and that gives the emotion a little more punch. Ultimately I feel like I ruined the game for myself by allowing that illusion to be broken, because from every point afterwards I never felt as invested in what happened, and none of the episodes surpassed 2 for me because of that. The moral of the story is to let yourself believe the lie.

wait,

You can rewind?

Nope. I let everything happen as it did and once I finished the series, I uninstalled it because the story I saw is the one I want to remember and I don't really care about any alternatives.

Nope. But I did pause at one choice in the game and look online at the consequences cause I was freaking out about what to do.

No, but it want until after episode 3 where i was asking myself "What if.."

No

It was whether to take Clem with the group or not in episode 4.

As for the OP: Nope, not once.

Oh maaan, I chose to leave her and I can remember how panicky I started to feel right after. I think it was because the gun Lee gives Clem I'm pretty sure was the empty revolver he got off Chuck or something... plus, I'm leaving Clem alone in the house with a potential zombie threat at that.

As for the OP: Nope, not once.

Yes I did, multiple times but mostly because of slip ups in conversation and not big decisions.

No. Never crossed my mind.

I never went back to any of the episodes and I don't ever plan on playing it ever again. Even if there's that one glitch where I didn't get the last achievement on Steam.

Never.

The Walking Dead is the first game where I'm happy with what I chose AND I have no intention of seeing it another way. It just seems on another level because of how I feel about that game. Everything about it felt so damn real. I don't like talking about it, I don't like thinking about it, and I sure as hell won't go back to try and do things differently.

Yeah. I was so upset at a result in one of the episode's that I felt was totally my fault, went back and changed it, had the same outcome. Definitely a little magic lost.

I didn't even know you COULD rewind until after I finished the game. I am kind of glad I didn't know, no temptations.

But in a couple of years, wouldn't you want to go back and experience it again? Even if you picked the same things as last time?

I did a rewind in Episode 3 to try and get a different outcome for a character, but it turns out what happened was something will happen no matter what you do unless you make a choice way back in Episode 1 that is equally as bad for the character.

Well, yeah... only because I have 2 saves one is good Lee and the other is asshole Lee.

Not once. Thought about it though.

Only time I wanted to rewind was in episode 3 when the interface didn't make it quite clear which person I was choosing in the heat of the moment - but in the end it didn't really matter.

No. Zombies walking forward is freaky enough.

Nope. I just played along even though I know some of the decisions I made were not the best.

@NekuSakuraba: IF you mean

In retrospect it does show those brackets that were usually employed during shoot out of cover sequences but two arrows pointing left or right is as clear as it can get. I suppose I just went for the person closer to me.

Nope not once. Stuck to my choices.

if you pull the girl or the guy up into the train as they're running beside it, then that is the moment I meant.

Yeah definitely a moment in episode 3 that totally caught me by surprise and rewinding the episode only ruins the game when you come to realize that choice is an illusion in this game.

@NekuSakuraba: I wouldn't bother as seeing the ending it won't change anything.

No, that defeats the purpose of the game to rewind, live with your choices and move on

Yes first episode, but after that I was like, "I'm gonna stick with my screw ups"

No. My choices, my consequences. It loses all impact if you just go back and change it.

Once, because I accidentally decided to advance the story even though there was one conversation I still wanted to hear.

I might have but only to hear a line or two I missed. I did at the end of chapter 1 the day it was released too to see what would happen if I saved Doug (I think that was his name). I finished the chapter with him as well but didn't play any further with him once chapter 2 was released.

I've only played through three of them at this point, but I would unequivocally agree that rewinding would ruin the experience for me.

I didn't do a rewind (didn't know you could until now) but I did ALT-F4 the shit out of the game when that happened. That whole moment was so poorly written :(

I rewound at the end of chapter 4. I felt I got shafted/betrayed by a character I had supported for a while, so I rewound to tell them to fuck themself.

I didn't even know you could rewind.

No, which sucks, because I'll probably never play the game again. I already know what happens, I've been through the emotional roller coaster. Any subsequent playthroughs won't be as impactful.

I rewound when  

It's a strange comparison, but I didn't really consider it in this game for the same reason I was reluctant to do it even on non-Ironman XCOM playthroughs. It feels like cheating.

Knew about it, but... No.

No takesies backsies.

No but I have been forced to replay entire episodes due to stupid bugs.

Hell no!

I rewound once last night at the end of episode 4 because

Don't think I'll rewind it again though, try to keep the story intact, but I really wanted that character to come with.
